This talk will provide a review of how electron energization in solar flares can be investigated through multi-wavelength observations.
Signatures of flare accelerated electrons and plasma heating are most readily observed at X-ray, radio, and extreme ultra-violet wavelengths. Observations at these wavelengths provide information on electron energization and transport, such as, where...
We conduct the wide-band X-ray spectral analysis in the energy range of 1.5 keV-100 keV and study the time evolution of the thermal and non-thermal emission in the July 23, 2016 M7.6 Class solar flare observed by the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). As a result, the time evolution of the non-thermal and...
The details of electron acceleration in solar flares is still an open question. I will be presenting a brief overview on the observations and challenges before describing results from a new model. Electron distributions in solar flares typically take the form of a thermal core with a power law tail. These nonthermal electrons contain more energy than the thermal electrons in 85% of solar...
Quasi-periodic pulsations in flare emission may provide important information about the underlying energy release process. Here we investigate how reconnection, in the absence of external oscillating driving, may naturally generate oscillations, and we forward model the observable emission. Firstly, we consider 3D MHD simulations of a flaring twisted coronal loop with multiple reconnection...
Non-thermal electrons accelerated by solar eruptive events can excite Langmuir waves which can convert into radio radiation through the plasma emission mechanism. These radio emissions are directly related to the local plasma frequency, and thus used as a remote-sensing diagnostic of the local coronal conditions. Recent high-resolution LOFAR observations conducted at sub-second scales have...
